And THIS, my friends, is why YouTube was invented

[thehefner]

I haven't seen this since 6th grade. I'd almost come to distrust my memory, or even disbelieve its existence.

No. It's real, and it's even more wonderful than I'd remembered it.

For the love of Horshack, watch parts 2 and 3. You have not lived until you've seen the Zookeeper.

If they have Cypher In the Snow or When Jenny, When? I'll have to put an APB out to all my high school mates.

(And after this, I didn't think Youtube could get any better.)

(If you watch, stay 'til the end. The last few lines are fantastic.)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I couldn't find them. Nor could I find the companion film to AM I NORMAL?, entitled DEAR DIARY. According to imdb, the entire cast returns!

Did you link to something there? If so, it... doesn't seem to work for me.

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

Ah, this should be better.

What I linked to was Dan Radcliff on Extras. Diana Rigg is involved. And one much beloved little 'french letter.'

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Diana Rigg! "Do you still have that catsuit from THE AVENGERS?"

Also, did you see Warwick Davis? Yay!!

Anyone else think that Daniel with glasses is hot, but Daniel without has tiny eyes and great bushy scary eyebrows o' DOOM??

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

You just went up about a Brazillian points for being comfortable enough with your sexuality to call Daniel Radcliffe hot.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but only with glasses. With them, yeah, hawt. Without... ew, English!

(remember, I'm the guy who insists that Daniel Craig has a scary British sunken chest)

(and wait, you're not English yourself, you just live/hang out there, right? So I'm not offending you in this, right? Forgive me, I'm under the influence of merlot and Werner Herzog)

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

"you're not English yourself, you just live/hang out there, right?"

Only my stylist knows for sure. ;-)

Nope, American. But I've lived there a few times and hope to get back. My ex-fiance was English, though, so my move back may involve a wig, sunglasses, and a faux Russian accent of some kind.

/or maybe Latvian

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Better yet, go with Latverian. That way, you can claim to be a princess in exile, and thus will be the rightful Queen for DOOM.

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

You mean I'm not already?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Aye, in Doom's eyes, and that is enough! After all, Doom is not a real Doctor. Doom was kicked out of college ever since that accursed Richards tampered with Doom's experiments! But Doom awarded himself honorary doctorate from the University of Latveria! So yes, if Doom says you're of royal lineage, then so shall it be! SO SPEAKS DOOM!

I haven't finished watching it yet, but HAHAHAHA! This sort of feels like cheating or something, you know, how you'd have the class split up between boys and girls to watch different videos? I feel like I've snuck into the boy's conference. I recall watching a lot of videos about peer pressure and self esteem, and NOT DOING DRUGS (they'll mess up your life, man), and SAFE SEX; but I really only remember on video in seventh grade called, "I Got It!" Yeah, guess what that's about...

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Keep going, keep going, I beg you.

See, yeah, that's why I wish I could find the sequel, DEAR DIARY, which is AM I NORMAL? for girls! According to imdb, the whole cast returns! If I saw it, who knows? Maybe I could learn a thing or two. ;)

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

Well, my memory is hazy (this was B.P., Before Pot), but I'm pretty sure it was all about this girl who spent a whole weekend agonizing about how she hadn't gotten her period and all the popular girls and/or her friends had gotten it, and that there was this Big Sleepover™ she hadn't gotten invited to. So yeah, at the end, she gets invited to the sleepover, and there she gets her first period and her life is like, totally validated or something. I don't know really know, though, I was mostly too busy passing out from estrogen exposure.

Pee Ess - That girl in the video asking the kid out? Toooootally creepy. She looks like she wants to eat him. In a bad way. :(

Questions that I have:

1. Why does the cartoon guy's ball sack attach to his leg?

2. Why did the dinosaurs die out?

3. Why is the creepy zookeeper/janitor/pedophile played by John Denver?

ANSWERS!!!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

1.) I imagine it's a side effect of the bell bottom pants, and thus a major reason why they went out of style.

2.) Because you touch yourself at night.

3.) Actually, he's really a clone/hybrid of John Denver and Dick Van Patten, bred in the distant future of 1997 and sent back to the 70's to scar little boys for life. And do *twice* the Muppet specials of a single man's capabilities!

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Oh Lord. I'd never seen this before. ...Thanks for sharing?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd *hope* you had never seen it before! It was boys-only! Like I've been saying, I long to see the version for girls, entitled DEAR DIARY.

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd never even heard of it. And I have a twin brother! Maybe it was a regional thing.... If you find "Dear Diary," I'm sure you'll let us know. ;-)

Also, NAAAAAATE!

[gore-whore-5.livejournal.com]

I didn't know there was a girls only part. I feel cheated! We only saw the boys one. Bastard health teachers.

[holli.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. Am I Normal was LEGENDARY at my high school. Our dickwad health teacher only got us to behave by promising to air it for us at the end of the year if we stopped heckling him. He reneged, of course.

Thank you for this opportunity to relive the trauma.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

The glorious, glorious trauma.

LEGENDARY was the word. We had all already heard "I've seen a lot of penises in my day... animals, that is..." weeks before we actually saw the film.

[little-dinosaur.livejournal.com]

"Great Moments in Sex"?

This is amazing. We didn't get girls-only videos until grade 9. Kind of beside the point by then, really. And I guess it goes without saying that I never got the boys-only ones. This is Canada; we had "Degrassi" instead of these.
But wouldn't it make more sense to show girls the boy one and vice versa too?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Did you get to the zookeeper? Please tell me you watched all the way to the zookeeper!

[little-dinosaur.livejournal.com]

Oh, I did. I watched the whole thing. And the moral of the story is that talking incessantly about your penis will make you popular, well-liked and a real catch for the ladies!

[jcsbimp.livejournal.com]

We had nothing like this when I was a teen. I wonder if that fact really makes any difference.

[gore-whore-5.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha! I saw that in 6th grade too!

I've seen a lot of penises in my day. Animal penises, that is.
